Apple reportedly developed and evaluated a Pencil accessory for its upcoming foldable iPhone, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The accessory is said to be longer than the iPad version due to the phone's height, and it attaches magnetically for storage and charging. While a stylus for a small tablet may seem plausible, there are several drawbacks to consider.
The delicate nature of foldable displays, often made of plastics that can be easily scratched, poses a significant challenge. The stylus's pointy tip could potentially damage the display. Additionally, the idea of a stylus on an iPhone, introduced by Steve Jobs without one in 2007, goes against the device's touch-centric design.
Despite these concerns, Gurman suggests that Apple will likely not launch the accessory as a consumer product with the foldable's debut. The company is expected to unveil the folding iPhone at an event scheduled for September 9.
